My constant need to talk about movies gets me into trouble only when I'm presented with that one, absurd question: "What's your favorite movie?"

How can I have a favorite movie? I have five hundred favorite movies and I've been in moods where each one of them has been my absolute, hands-down favorite. And don't even think about ranking them "” it's meaningless, because just when you think it's almost right, you realize you like #42 better than #9 but not better than #20, which is definitely worse than #9.

And yet I'm asked the question so much that I usually just give up and say The Princess Bride.

Because really, this is a perfect movie. It's an epic fairy tale but also a spoof of epics and fairy tales. Its characters are all hilarious and yet you're emotionally attached to each one. It's exciting, action-packed, and captures the imagination. The tagline sums it up the best: "Heroes. Giants. Villains. Wizards. True love." Really, what could possibly be better?

While I have nothing bad to say about the movie "” which, if you haven't seen it, just do so, and quickly "” I'm afraid I have plenty to complain about with the DVD set itself. There's just no content, which is baffling because they were obviously making an effort.

For example, they nabbed brand-new interviews with stars Robin Wright-Penn, Mandy Patinkin, Chris Sarandon, and Christopher Guest, but the result is a fluffy featurette called "Princess Bride: The Untold Tales" that runs less than ten minutes.

Only two other featurettes are included, and neither of them is any longer. "Fairy Tales and Folklore" brings in a fairy tale expert to point out how the screenplay borrows the structure of classic fairy tales, while the most interesting of the lot is "The Art of Fencing," which features a fencing expert taking us through the various (excellent) swordfights in the film. It may not teach you to win a duel with a six-fingered man to avenge your father's death, but at least it holds your attentions.

And that's it for special features, with the exception of one that I don't even want to talk about: "True Love and High Adventure: The Official Princess Bride DVD Game."

What it amounts to is a collection of three mini-games which are each about 30 seconds long, didn't seem to work right, are aimed at people under negative one years old ("what rhymes with 'me'?"), and feature voice work by people with horrible imitations of Wallace Shawn, Mandy Patinkin, and Andre the Giant. Oh, and even the name is a misnomer "” it's not really an official DVD game but actually "episode 2" of a series of crappy internet games that can be found at princessbridegame.com, at least I think. I didn't
